She then replied, “Presidents Day is when the President steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow we will have another year of pure bull!” You know, it really hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose!</p>Tue, 03 Mar 2015 11:00:06 +0000hdmoadmin111066 at http://northhawaiinews.comGrandparents celebrated at HPAhttp://northhawaiinews.com/sections/school-news/grandparents-celebrated-hpa.html

<p>It takes a garden to grow a community and that is what has happened at the Mala`ai Culinary Garden over the last 10 years. The seed for the garden germinated when Amanda Rieux arrived in Waimea in 2005, after working as a garden teacher for several years at Alice Waters’ Edible School Yard in Berkeley, CA, to be the director of the future garden.</p><p>“When we first started I felt like the tailor in the <em>Emperor’s New Clothes</em>. I would tell people, ‘it’s going to be great’ and they were like, ‘uh huh,’” said Rieux. But the actual seed for the garden was the work of Waimea naturopathic physician Michelle Suber, who wanted to contribute to the health of the community she had come to love.</p>Tue, 03 Mar 2015 11:00:06 +0000hdmoadmin111021 at http://northhawaiinews.comTutu’s Househttp://northhawaiinews.com/sections/events-calendar/tutu%E2%80%99s-house.html

<p>The other day, I was on the phone with an old friend, who told me she wanted to write her memoir. She said she had been thinking about it for a while but hadn’t started yet because she needed to strategize where to begin and how to structure it. “How do I start?” she asked me.</p><p>This is a good question, and it’s one I hear a lot as a writing teacher and coach. My answer is this: the writing is the solution to the problem of what to write. That sounds paradoxical, doesn’t it? In order to know where to start writing, you actually need to start writing.</p>Mon, 02 Mar 2015 18:07:49 +0000hdmoadmin111016 at http://northhawaiinews.comMid-ocean plastics talk in Honokaahttp://northhawaiinews.com/sections/northern-notes/mid-ocean-plastics-talk-honokaa.html

<p>Since 1981, the Ironman World Championship has brought the world’s best athletes together to swim, bike, and run competitively on Hawaii Island’s scenic Kohala Coast. The 112-mile bike ride along the rugged black lava route is a favorite for many, who often arrive weeks in advance to train and test their stamina against the notorious trade winds and scorching heat.</p><p>But beyond the main route, back roads and less-traveled dirt paths are a best kept secret for cyclists seeking other options for recreational and training purposes. Though largely untapped, the word is quickly spreading.</p>Tue, 24 Feb 2015 11:00:06 +0000hdmoadmin110941 at http://northhawaiinews.comHigh school ag internship programhttp://northhawaiinews.com/sections/school-news/high-school-ag-internship-program.html
